5 Comments on “Jimmie Verlin Fry, Sr.”
Jimmie was the life of the party or gathering when your family would come to grandma’s. Loved him dearly and I will forever miss him and his out spoken, his Wooten loudness, and last but not least, the love he had for family. My thoughts and prayers are going up everyday for ya’ll.
He was a good friend to my dad, Max Kennedy. They saw one another three times while being a resident of Tut Fann. Dad was sad to learn of his passing. Our deepest condolences to the family.
So sorry gor your loss Joann.I lost Donnie Crowden on 20/1025.Prayers
